Steps:
- 1. Add the butter to your rice cooker and place on Cook. When the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Add the rice, stock, salt, and cilantro, and stir together. Place the lid on the cooker and allow to cook until it switches to Warm setting. Leave on Warm for 10-15 minutes.
- 3. Fluff with rice paddle, serve as a side dish and enjoy.
Tips:
- Use a good quality rice. Less expensive brands may not cook as evenly or have as much flavor.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This removes excess starch and helps to prevent the rice from sticking together.
- Use the correct amount of water. Too much water will make the rice mushy, while too little water will make it dry and hard.
- Add salt to the water before cooking. This will help to season the rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for the recommended amount of time. Do not lift the lid during cooking, as this will release steam and cause the rice to cook unevenly.
- Once the rice is cooked, let it stand for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together.
- Serve the rice immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Mexican rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Mexican rice every time.
